School Isn't What it Used to Be

What have we come to? I don't remember getting billed by school when my two older kids were in kindergarten...but I got a bill in the mail today for "educational material fees" in the amount of $93.00. This includes "textbook rental fees." Rental hell. The kids don't bring the damn books home to work on things so I don't see how it's any kind of rental. It also includes 4 pencils, as though parents couldn't send 4 pencils from home. Insane. I thought that's what tax dollars were for.
